Twenty years maintaining the WiX Toolset

Creating a windows service application

Win32 App Isolation
I actually like WiX[1] — it has a bit of a learning curve, but, so long as I'm building on Windows and don't stray far from the default UI flows, I haven't found an easier tool for creating Windows installers as part of a product build process, especially those that require Windows-specific bits like COM component registration, Windows service management, setting restrictive ACLs on installed components, etc.
And while I'm not aware of any way to sandbox Windows Installer itself, I'm curious if AppContainer isolation can be applied to applications and services installed via MSI, which would still be quite useful even if the installation process itself is unrestricted.
Alternatively, now that MSIX supports service installation[2], I wonder whether an MSIX including a Windows service and a collection of client applications can be configured so everything runs within one AppContainer, isolated from the rest of the system, and whether permission to access specific external directories chosen by users in a configuration GUI can be transparently (to the user) delegated to the related service.
Alas, none of this is useful to me until it's compatible with at least the most recent version of Windows 10, as very few of my customers are running Windows 11, and I suspect many won't upgrade until Windows 10 is no longer supported (optimistically; as of last year, I was still getting occasional support requests from customers running older versions of our software on Windows Server 2003 R2).

For Windows, in the past, I’ve used the WiX toolset to create installers (https://wixtoolset.org/).

Node runners: AlgoTools now supports key registration
You do have a couple easier options for running a node on Windows than what you listed. Randlabs has Windows installers, or you could run the sandbox on mainnet (requires Docker).
- I tried to investigate which projects are running participation nodes
-
Do you believe an "expert governor" should run a node?
I'm running nodes only on Linux, thus can't tell how difficult it is to setup on Windows. For Windows the recommended way based on developer portal seems to be to use RandLabs (company behind MyAlgoWallet and AlgoExplorer) solution: https://github.com/randlabs/algorand-windows-node/ Another way is through Sandbox via Docker: https://github.com/algorand/sandbox#algorand-sandbox
- Rand has released Algorand windows node 3.9.2

Questions About Nodes
If you have a windows machine there is the rand labs node. This can be downloaded here https://github.com/randlabs/algorand-windows-node/releases

How can I run Algorand node?
I run a couple of nodes on a PC using this https://github.com/randlabs/algorand-windows-node/releases/tag/v3.6.2
-
Starting a node
Rand made a windows node here https://github.com/randlabs/algorand-windows-node. I am using this now and like it.
-
Is anyone else concerned that there is no incentive to run a participation node?
The easiest way is to follow Algorand's official guide. You need to have some knowledge though. If you don't want to touch the terminal and have a Windows machine, you can also run the Rand Labs binaries.

Thank you to this community for helping me set up my node!
Yes https://github.com/randlabs/algorand-windows-node/releases, but most community guides are written for Linux distributions. So you have to tinker with the manual.
